A sturdy, high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a compact, vertical stance. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with slightly tapered terminals and smooth, rounded joins that keep counters open and shapes legible. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and balanced, while the lowercase uses a two-storey a and g, a moderate x-height, and crisp, straight stems that create an even typographic color. Numerals align with the same strong contrast and read clearly at display and text sizes.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine or newspaper-style typography, and book typography where classic proportions and strong contrast support readability. It can also serve brand identities and packaging that benefit from a traditional, premium tone and a clear, assertive typographic voice.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, conveying trust, authority, and a traditional print sensibility. Its contrast and crisp serifs give it a confident, polished voice suited to serious or institutional messaging.
The design appears intended as a modern, robust take on classic serif lettering, balancing strong contrast and crisp detailing with practical legibility. It aims to provide a dependable, authoritative texture for both display settings and longer-form reading.
Round letters show controlled, slightly oval curves with generous interior space, while diagonals and arms stay sharp and decisive. The rhythm is steady rather than quirky, and the heavier verticals help maintain presence in headings without becoming overly decorative.
